While the excitement from Sony’s recent PS5 Pro announcement has yet to fade, information from sources close to the famous Japanese console giant has leaked the first details about the next console to be released after the PS5 Pro. Here are the first insights into Sony’s upcoming new console…
Sony is preparing to release a new handheld console!
YouTuber ‘Tom: Moore’s Law Is Dead’ had shared the technical specifications of the PS5 Pro in a video earlier this year. At the time, Tom’s leaks weren’t taken seriously, but later IGN confirmed them. Now, with Sony’s official reveal of the PS5 Pro, those leaks have been proven true, and new rumors about a PlayStation handheld console from the same source have resurfaced.
According to Tom, Sony is currently working in collaboration with AMD on a new handheld console. This device could be the successor to the PlayStation Vita and may mark Sony’s return to the handheld gaming market.
Sony, which has been facing backlash from gamers due to recent decisions, has announced yet another controversial move.
The video suggests that this console is still in the early design phase, and a decision has yet to be made on its production. The YouTuber mentioned that the console is in the ‘High-Level Design’ phase, and Sony has not yet finalized how the device will look or what features it will have.
When these claims first surfaced in March, they didn’t attract much attention. However, after the recent PlayStation 5 Technical Presentation, rumors about the new handheld console have started to circulate again. According to Tom, the device has not been officially confirmed yet, and Sony may decide to cancel the project altogether.
There is also no concrete information about the potential release date of the console. Tom mentions that even in the best-case scenario, the device would take at least two years to launch, meaning that players may have to wait until 2026 for this project to come to life.
Putting all the information together, it seems almost certain that the first console Sony will release after the PS5 Pro will be a PlayStation handheld console. Feel free to share your thoughts on this topic in the comments.
